Category Archives: Sessions @ CHSR

Every band has a story to tell. Music sounds best when you are right there, and the energy is high, and the mood is light, and the pressure is off…

Sessions @ CHSR is a weekly show  featuring live performances and interviews with touring bands and local bands, captured in Studio D. Tune in every Thursday at 4pm for the most recent performance. And stay tuned at 5pm for another performance, sometimes new and sometimes from the archives.

Want to get involved? Touring through Fredericton, or call this region home? Email sessions AT CHSRfm.ca and introduce yourself. We’d love to have ya!

Sessions @ CHSR – 049 Rouge

Dance/Electronica three-piece outfit Rouge came by the studio and Fredericton to help give a reason for students to enjoy a great night. Listen to me try to talk to these great performers before and after a curious makeshift drum set-up and keyboard song played for Yours Truly and.. yourselves! Pictures to come.

Sessions @ CHSR – 048 You Vs Me

I sat down with You Vs Me in their acoustic outfit with Mark Kilfoil operating the boards. We talked about promotional deals, shaking a hand angrily at the sky, and the classic nintendo / atari game “Joust”. Confused?
Then check it out! They were a lot of fun both in studio and at the show, and I’m personally looking forward to seeing them again.

Sessions @ Night – 047 – Eliza and the Strange

Yours truly sat down with Eliza and the Strange while advertising my own crazy show. I’m not going to do it again, it’s already everywhere.

Ahem.

Find out more about what makes this band “The Strange” as we talk about all sorts of inappropriate things (hence it being at Night), as well as discussing the inspirational motions put forward by planetary alignments and Jim Carrey.

Seriously though, this band has a wicked sound that you don’t want to miss. MD out!
PS: Doesn’t the drummer look awesome bathed in light?

Check it out!Look at the recording in the bottom left hand corner! Full sound. Good stuff!

Sessions @ CHSR (45)- Eyeswide (Part 2)

Breezing through Fredericton again was acoustic artist Eyeswide, and ready to interview him was our very own Program Director, Mark Kilfoil. There was a Matt Nightingale kind of there, too, but he didn’t have much to say!

Find out what Eyeswide has been up to! Tune in, hear some new tracks, some news, and how a European tour may go!

Sessions @ Night (44!) – Hero’s Last Rite!

Long overdue, the band Hero’s Last Rite set up for an intense performance in our humble studio. This session is a bit different – we talk about life as a metal band, an upcoming performance (October 29th, as well as November 26th! Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for that second one! Hint!), and how they love to get their music out there as opposed to making people pay for their CDs… that’s right! You can get all this music for free! Be sure to listen as I randomly interject between a few songs to tell you names and where you can get your face melted from the awesome thrash metal!

Music Director, out!

Sessions @ CHSR – Episode 43 – Al Lukas!

Hey folks! Matt here from Run For Your Life! I got the chance to interview traveling troubadour Al Lukas about his new album “In My Soul” as well as life on the road, alone or with a band. He got to show off his very bluesy voice while playing all around the rock genre, showing that a man and his acoustic guitar are capable of more than you can imagine!

Be sure to keep an eye out for this guy! And grab his album, while you’re at it!

Sessions @ CHSR – Episode 42 – The Kestrels!

Garage-Rock band Kestrels dropped by the station to tell us all kinds of things: How their tours around the Maritimes work, their motivations, upcoming shows and what garage rock should sound like. Awesome noise-rock at it’s best! Be sure to check this one out – but, if you find the session doesn’t do them justice, they’ll be coming back in November 2011!

Special thanks to Kayne of  The Quiet Inside for operating!

They tore up Studio D while Matt Nightingale tried to coerce more information out about the secretive operations that the band were involved with. Find out some disturbing things, get confused, and fall in love with the powerhouse that is Kill Matilda!

Session will be first aired September 16th, 9 PM! (GMT-4)

CHSR Session 040 – Bikini Test Failure

Matt Nightingale of Run For Your Life managed to catch James from Bikini Test Failure on the phone … yes, that’s right, phone! While this is highly irregular for a session, James hails from Manchester, England! He sent in a special acoustic set of his music just for sessions, and chatted to Matt about what’s to come in the future. Be sure to check this one out!
